Term 2 My score: 34/45 Disastrous result for me this term. This highest in class was FULL MARKS and there were 19(or so) A1s in class out of 28 students. My initial score was actually 32.5 and I had to plead with my Science teacher before finally increasing my score to 34, or 75.56%. I think I was rather weak in the topic of Measurements and my conversions of units was very inaccurate. For Particle Theory, I seem to have misunderstood something and I lost marks here and there. No excuses though, I just have to thank that I got an A1 by the narrowest of margins. Perhaps I was overconfident about getting top last term.
Scientific concept: After doing corrections I realised I had to buck up. Did a lot of reading and tried to understand all the questions I got wrong and how not to make the same mistake again. Even in Term 3 I still make similar mistakes in terms of unit conversion. Learnt a lot more than Term 1 though.
Exam skills: Time management-I had to rush the Critical Thinking Questions and that cost me. Also, I need to remember to make sure that my graphs take up at least half the width of the paper.
Critical thinking: Answers given were not clear. Need to explain. Elaborate. NEED MORE TIME!
